I’m hoping to bring some green cheer to my poor Minnesotan friends who seem to be completely covered in snow. I finished my lovely jade green socks which are just perfect as it is still a tad chilly here. I also finished my wristwarmers which I’m very pleased with. They were very quick to crochet [...]
I was up late working on the mitts and the way I was going, I figured that I’d run out of yarn before I made them the length I wanted so I started from the other end and figured I could do both at the same time It was also a chance to experiment and [...]
In an attempt to buck myself up, I’ve been trying to some crochet wrist warmers. My crocheting skills aren’t as good as my knitting so it does me a good to get down to it and practice a bit. I’ve been working on these for two days (!) and finally cracked the gauge etc today [...]
My cat turned out to have a slightly different head when making the second side so I decided frogging back a bit would be easier than trying to block it into the right shape. Thankfully it won’t be too long to re-crochet. I’m not sure about the dark pink nose and wonder if I should [...]
I was walking down the road after parking the car and was literally accosted by this kitty. She was very insistent that I stroke her. She also kept trailing me down the road. Doesn’t that face say “Stroke me”. How could I resist. Yes, that is dribble. That cat was so purry and happy. I [...]
I pulled out all these from my sizeable stash for a little crochet project. What do you reckon I’m going to make?
Some very sweet little girls brought us an Easter surprise. Very skilfully decorated! Inside were these very tasty little nests with chocolate eggs inside. Lucky us! I embellished my Easter decorations with some crochet. I made some crochet flowers from a pattern on Attic 24 and crocheted some garlands to hang on it as it [...]
I was feeling a bit low yesterday afternoon as we’d had another day in which was fine but I was feeling a bit sad as I’d been reminded on Wednesday of my pretty exciting childhood where as a family we travelled a lot. As an adult, I certainly don’t have that opportunity as readily any [...]
My friend M is quite a talented crocheter and I was watching her crochet the most beautiful purple blanket for the past few weeks and thought to myself what a lovely idea but my crochet skills are rather limited to granny squares. It was when I saw this stole on Attic24 and then following the [...]
We collected our little kitten today. He was a little cautious about leaving the cat carrier but he is getting more confident as time goes on. He’s shut off from the other cats now so he can just get used to the new sounds and smells but he is doing really well. He’s been snuggling [...]
